Despu�s de perder su pierna en la explosi�n de una mina terrestre en Afganist�n, Cormoran Strike intenta rehacer su vida como investigador privado. En el terreno personal no le va mucho mejor: acaba de romper con su novia de siempre, por lo que ha tenido que marcharse de casa e instalarse en la oficina.

En este desastroso momento de su vida aparece John Bristow con una historia asombrosa: su hermana, la legendaria supermodelo Lula Landry, conocida por sus amigos como El Cuco, ha ca�do desde su balc�n de Mayfair en plena noche. Todo el mundo asume que se trata de un suicidio, excepto John, que se niega a creer eso.

El encargo concede cierto respiro econ�mico a Strike, pero, cuanto m�s profundiza en el complejo mundo de la modelo, m�s oscuro le parece todo y m�s se acerca a un gran peligro. Un elegante misterio impregnado de la atm�sfera de Londres, desde las calles m�s selectas de Mayfair hasta los pubs ocultos del East End o el bullicio del Soho.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Published under a pseudonym, J. K. Rowling's brilliant debut mystery introduces Detective Cormoran Strike as he investigates a supermodel's suicide in "one of the best books of the year" (USA Today).

After losing his leg to a land mine in Afghanistan, Cormoran Strike is barely scraping by as a private investigator. Strike is down to one client, creditors are calling, and after a breakup with his longtime girlfriend, he's living in his office.

Then John Bristow walks through his door with a shocking story: His sister, the legendary supermodel Lula Landry -- known to her friends as the Cuckoo -- famously fell to her death a few months earlier. The police ruled it a suicide, but John refuses to believe that. The case plunges Strike into the world of multimillionaire beauties, rock-star boyfriends, and desperate designers, and it introduces him to every variety of pleasure, enticement, seduction, and delusion known to man.

You may think you know detectives, but you've never met one quite like Strike. You may think you know about the wealthy and famous, but you've never seen them under an investigation like this.

Fast-paced and sharply drawn, this dazzling detective novel inspired Strike, the BBC crime drama series that has captivated millions of viewers worldwide.
